The Litkenhous Ratings Are Out!

We haven't had much to say about Kentucky high school basketball so far, but it's about time to start focusing on the world's greatest high school competition. The Courier-Journal released its Litkenhous Ratings this week, and they are as Jefferson County-heavy as usual. I, for one, can hardly wait for a lot more discussion of Louisville Trinity:

1. Lou. Trinity: 10-2
2. Bullitt East: 11-2
3. Lou. Ballard: 8-5
4. Lou. Pleasure Ridge Park: 12-3
5. Scott Co: 9-3
6. Madison Cent: 12-0
7. Lou. Moore: 11-3
8. Lou. Butler: 7-5
9. Lou. Jeffersontown: 11-4
10. Lou. Eastern: 8-6

But of course, these rankings are largely irrelevant, because only two teams from Jefferson County can make the State Tournament. Here are the highest-ranked teams in each of the 16 regions:

1st Region: Marshall Co.
2d Region: Hopkinsville
3d Region: Ohio Co.
4th Region: Warren Cent.
5th Region: Bardstown
6th Region: Bullitt East
7th Region: Lou. Trinity
8th Region: S. Oldham
9th Region: Cov. Catholic
10th Region: Clark Co.
11th Region: Scott Co.
12th Region: Southwestern
13th Region: Clay Co.
14th Region: Knott Cent.
15th Region: Johnson Cent.
16th Region: Rowan Co.
